Chapter 2

I felt a nudge on my shoulder. "Get up Hermione," Ginny urged.

I opened my eyes to see Ginny standing over me.

"We have to leave in half an hour," she announced.

I got up straight away. I brushed my hair and washed my face and put on some jeans and a big jumper, it was freezing. I picked up my suitcase and followed Ginny down the stairs and left my suitcase next to, what appeared to be, Harry and Ron's.

We walked into the Great Hall and sat down to eat some breakfast. We didn't search for Harry or Ron because there was hardly any time. I spread some marmalade across some toast and ate it while Ginny had some cereal. When we were finished we rushed up to the common room and there were only a few people up there getting the last of their things or sitting by the fire as they were probably staying at Hogwarts through the holidays. We ran down to the front entrance just as some people were getting on the last carriages. We jumped in the last carriage with only one other person, Luna Lovegood.

"Hello Loony Lovegood," Ginny smiled. I stomped on Ginny's foot hard but discreetly. "Luna!" She corrected herself looking ashamed.

"Yes?" Luna said lowering the quibbler that she was holding down so that she could see us. Ginny looked relieved she didn't hear her.

"Oh, I was just wondering what you were getting up to these holidays?" Ginny replied trying to cover up.

"Oh.. Not much really, what about you two?" She asked.

"Same," Ginny and I replied at the same time.

The rest of the carriage ride was silent as Luna just kept reading the quibbler. When we reached the train Ginny and I went looking for Ron and Harry but couldn't see them.

"Their probably already on the train," Ginny reassured me.

"Right," I said.

We hopped onto the train and looked into every compartment until we found Harry and Ron sitting down in one.

"We've been looking for you's everywhere," Ron stated.

"So have we!" I replied.

I sat down next to Ron and Ginny next to Harry. I heard the compartment door open and looked up. Fred and George were coming in. I looked at Ginny and she smiled at me, I didn't want to make it awkward or seem different to them. They probably just wanted me to go over to the Burrow so they could just try all their new tricks and pranks out on me. Well I hope not that would be a bit humiliating. George sat down next to me while Fred went and sat next to Ginny. I couldn't help it, it was so awkward. Maybe not for them but for me, I just didn't know what to do!

"Have anything planned for the holidays?" Ginny asked the twins.

"Not to much, plan on just staying at the Burrow," Fred said.

"Isn't mum throwing a big new years eve party?" George asked.

"It'd be fun if she was," Ginny smiled at me again.

The rest of the trip went as slow as ever but eventually we reached the station. We all got up, got our luggage and got off the train. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were waiting for us and embraced us all in a big hug.

"So good to see you all!" She stated.

We walked back to Mr. Weasley's enchanted car and drove to the Burrow.

When we reached the Burrow Ginny and I lugged our suitcases up to her room.

"What was with all that smiling on the train Ginny?" I urged.

"Oh, nothing," she replied.

"That was not nothing, that was definitely something,"

"Come on Hermione, as if you didn't notice?" Ginny laughed.

"Notice what?"

"Fred and George were acting so different! I have seriously never seen them act like that before!" She said.

"I didn't notice," I stated.

"Do you have a thing for one of them?" Ginny asked urgently.

"What? No!" I quickly replied.

I honestly didn't. I didn't even know why they would act different around me!

"Well we'll just have to see what happens at the party then," Ginny said.
